Twitter: @MinnaAila I have just read again all 180 pages of our 2016 People & Planet report, covering our sustainability activities for last year. I am happy to say it is a truly in-depth view of how we work, our achievements and challenges, and future aspirations and targets on our journey to a more sustainable world. It covers our activities on…

Twitter: @harkuo Nokia celebrated its 150th birthday in 2015. Who knows what the next 150 years will bring? Nobody of course, but we can be sure that if Nokia is to remain in business decades into the future, we and the entire telco industry must become more sustainable. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, with communications services demand rising a…

Twitter: @moniquehebert67 In a world with the Internet of Things, driverless cars and virtual “just about anything,” the need for universal quality standards has never been greater. At the same time, the challenge of identifying and implementing standards among an ever-growing and diverse group of industry players is also significant. At Nokia, we see this as an opportunity. This is the…

Twitter: @SLehongre Today, I want to share how excited I am by our approach to corporate community investment and introduce you to the new programs we are supporting this year, working hand in hand with non-governmental organizations.

Twitter: @MinnaAila Proud as punch when I saw the news: Nokia sailed into the top 20 of the 100 most sustainable corporations in the world as judged by Corporate Knights, the Canadian-based media and research company. What an achievement – from 60th to 18th place in just a year – particularly pleasing in a year of major integration. It underlines all…

Twitter: @harkuo Here’s an amazing statistic that has a clear impact for the telco industry. The Semiconductor Industry Association forecast that, based on current trends, computing will need more electricity by 2040 than the entire world could generate. That would be a showstopper for operators, who are major ICT users. Meanwhile, with the Paris Agreement on climate change being ratified and…

Twitter: @harkuo Did you know that water can store a thousand times more energy than the same volume of air? Or that the thermal conductivity of air is 22 times lower than that of water? Put together, this means air is much less effective at cooling electronic equipment than water. Using air to cool components uses much more energy. Did you…

Twitter: @Manisha_Singh21 At Nokia we believe that being part of the solutions to today’s global challenges is our duty. We are doing so by working together with NGOs and key stakeholders, to improve people’s lives with technology and build resilience and response to natural disasters. In a world where disasters – both natural and manmade – are increasing in frequency, the…

Twitter: @mjadoul Introducing the Smart City Playbook In 1859 Charles Dickens wrote a novel, “A Tale of Two Cities,” about London and Paris in the 2nd half of the 18th century. Although the work gives a pretty negative image of both cities in those days, comparing the strengths of different municipalities is often a good way to obtain understanding of what…

Twitter: @MinnaAila Celebrating a sustained lead in sustainability For the second year in a row, Nokia has shown it is a sustainability leader, being listed in the world Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI). And this year, we have also been recognized as an industry leader in the CMT Communications Equipment sector with an improved global score of 83/100 (+4 points compared…
